CNN poll: Anti-Semitism in Europe

[oberliner]

Anti-Semitic stereotypes are alive and well in Europe, while the memory of the Holocaust is starting to fade, a sweeping new survey by CNN reveals. More than a quarter of Europeans polled believe Jews have too much influence in business and finance. Nearly one in four said Jews have too much influence in conflict and wars across the world.

One in five said they have too much influence in the media and the same number believe they have too much influence in politics.

Meanwhile, a third of Europeans in the poll said they knew just a little or nothing at all about the Holocaust, the mass murder of some six million Jews in lands controlled by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime in the 1930s and 1940s.

Those are among the key findings of a survey carried out by pollster ComRes for CNN. The CNN/ComRes poll interviewed more than 7,000 people across Europe, with more than 1,000 respondents each in Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Poland and Sweden.

1. Jesus. WWII took place there and 1/3 don't know about the Holocaust?

The whole world should know about the Holocaust. This is disturbing.

2. I am sure it is simiilar here. Ironically CNN gives every opportuunity to racists, anti-semites,

Bigots to express their views

It wasn't that long ago when they had a racist debating the question if "Jews are human"

5. Who was the person they had on?

in the Illinois 3rd District. He received over 56,000 votes.

4. Yes, it is a major problem in the US as well

Europe may be even worse, though.

6. Closer to the source of the original infection?

Sad that so few learn any history. The Holocaust did not happen 5,000 years ago. My father and father in law fought Nazis.

11. Perhaps

Regardless, it is really depressing.

7. and i'm willing to bet........

none of those people who say Jews have too much influence could site any real world examples, facts or figures about just how much Jewish presence there is in business or the media.

[oberliner]

9. What difference would it make if there was a strong Jewish presence in those areas?

12. my point was that they are just spewing buzz words and catch phrases
